She has infuriated the nation by saying that ginger babies are harder to love, that she wouldn’t hire fat people or let her children play with youngsters named Chardonnay or Tyler.

But outspoken Katie Hopkins maintains that she has done nothing wrong and that if she is the most hated woman in Britain, then it's everyone else's fault and thet our country has lost perspective.

According to The Mirrorthe former Apprentice star says that she is acting as a mouthpiece for all women who secretly agree with her but are too afraid to speak out.

Defensive: Katie Hopkins has spoken out in her new book to say that Britain have lost their perspective if they believe she is the most hated woman

She believes that when people hate her, it’s simply because she has hit on something that relates to them and maintains that her approach is 'refreshing' and believes it's important for people to have their own point of view.

Katie found herself at the centre of a storm over her comments on ITV1's This
Morning programme that she wouldn't want her children playing with
children with names like Tyler and Charmaine as they were likely to be
from a certain class.

Asked about popular baby names on ITV’s
This Morning show on Wednesday, Miss Hopkins began to criticise ‘lower
class’ children with names like Chantelle, Charmaine, Chardonnay and
Tyler.

‘I think you can tell a great deal
from a name,’ said mother-of-three Miss Hopkins, 38. ‘For me, there’s
certain names that I hear and I think “urgh”.

‘For me, a name is a shortcut of
finding out what class a child comes from and makes me ask: “Do I want
my children to play with them?”

When I hear screeched across the
playground: “Tyler! Come back ‘ere.” It’s the Tylers, the Charmains the
Chantelles, the Chardonnays.’

Heated: Katie found herself at the centre of a storm over her comments on ITV1's This Morning that she wouldn't want her children playing with children with names like Tyler and Charmaine as they were likely to be from a certain class

Miss Willoughby, 32, was
flabbergasted, responding: ‘Listen to what you are saying. You judge
children on names. That’s extraordinary.’

Co-host Phillip Schofield was then
forced to intervene, asking the women to speak one at a time as the
argument threatened to boil over.

And the nine-minute debate has now
become an internet sensation, with 3.5million people viewing the clip on
YouTube in only two days.

Katie sticks to her guns and says
that you have to be honest with people or they will never do anything
about it.

Stirring up even more controversy on Twitter last week, she wrote: 'Ginger babies.
Like a baby. Just so much harder to love.'

Then she went even further with her thoughts on ginger-haired people in an interview with OK! magazine.

Asked
if her two daughters India, nine, and Poppy, seven, were ginger, she
said: 'Oh no, they're definitely brown. We don't have a ginger in the
family.

'That was the first question I asked when I gave birth to Max (her son aged four): "Is he ginger?"

'There's nothing worse than a ginger boy especially in the young years.'

She also repeated her comments on The Wright Stuff on Channel 5 this morning, which sparked a fresh flurry of outrage on Twitter.

Despite the uproar she caused, Katie has spoken out to say that she thinks her comments were 'pretty funny' and her words reflect what she hears many other mothers say.

Refreshing: Katie, pictured here with her children, believes that when people hate her, it's simply because she has hit on something that relates to them and maintains that her approach is 'refreshing'

She concludes by saying that
she doesn't regret any of her comments and will only apologise if she
had said something that upset someone in a way that she didn’t intend.

The fiery blonde says that she has learned to laugh at herself and that ginger babies should too.

Katie rose to fame following her 2007 appearance on the third UK series of TV reality programme The Apprentice.

Hopkins resigned from the programme during the eleventh week, but not
before she had becoming one of the show's most infamous contestants
thanks to her controversial comments and attitude towards other
contestants.
